"As a native of Louisiana and someone deeply rooted in this community, I view it as both a privilege and a responsibility to care for the hearts of my neighbors. My approach to cardiologyand particularly to electrophysiologyis guided by a combination of precision, innovation, and compassion. I believe in the power of listening and educating, ensuring every patient understands their condition and feels empowered to be an active participant in their care. Heart rhythm disorders can be complex and sometimes frightening. My goal is to demystify that complexity through clear communication, personalized treatment plans, and a commitment to using the most advanced technologies and techniques available. Whether were managing atrial fibrillation, implanting a device, or pursuing ablation therapy, my focus remains the same: to provide care that is thoughtful, evidence-based, and rooted in trust."
